During a stump speech for Montana Republican Senate candidate Matt Rosendale, Trump said it would be a “disaster” for Florida if his chosen candidate, Ron DeSantis, loses the race. Trump did not mention Gillum by name.

“Ron for governor,” Trump said, plugging DeSantis into a speech for Rosendale.

Trump says Florida will be "a disaster" if Democrat Andrew Gillum wins the governorship. "Ron for governor," he says in Montana.

Gillum, the current mayor of Tallahassee, won a surprise upset victory in Florida’s Democratic primary race last month and currently leads DeSantis, a three-term Republican Congressman, in the polls. If he wins, Gillum would become Florida’s first black governor.

The day after the primary, Trump tweeted that Gillum is “a failed Socialist Mayor…who has allowed crime & many other problems to flourish in his city. This is not what Florida wants or needs!”

Not only did Congressman Ron DeSantis easily win the Republican Primary, but his opponent in November is his biggest dream….a failed Socialist Mayor named Andrew Gillum who has allowed crime & many other problems to flourish in his city. This is not what Florida wants or needs!
